    Daniel`s 70 Weeks.

    No, that is not the only way to understand the "last days." That is the only way approved by you to do that. When prophecy can have more than one application, as is the case with near-and-far prophetic fulfillment, we need not wear the straitjacket you set before your students. In Israel's...

    Daniel`s 70 Weeks.

    Daniel is end-time prophecy. It is a major foundation of any eschatology. Other major portions which must be used, thought out, and interrelated to form a whole are: the book of Revelation, 1st and 2nd Thessalonians, and one of the most important, the Keystone passage that I know of: the...

    Daniel`s 70 Weeks.

    The Bible interprets the Bible. If you look only at one verse to the exclusion of related verses, you are like one of the five blind men examining an elephant. And I never knew there was a guy named Darby until I took up debating on message boards to hone my eschatology. I still haven't read...

    Daniel`s 70 Weeks.

    They are, and it's not an assumption. Jesus references the abomination of desolation that Daniel wrote about in 9:27. That's not an assumption. Likewise, in answering when He would come again in the Olivet Discourse, Paul is also talking about what happens before Jesus comes again...

    Daniel`s 70 Weeks.

    I don't think you are reading very carefully what I wrote. Jesus said the abomination would be in the Temple. Paul wrote the man of lawlessness would proclaim himself god in the Temple. John wrote that an image of the beast of a man who suffered a deadly wound but lived would speak and be...

    Daniel`s 70 Weeks.

    And when Jesus references Daniel 9:27 as being yet to come, and Paul, years later, writes of the same thing, and then decades later John writes down the revelation of God concerning not only a beast of a man who suffers a deadly wound but doesn't die; and then has an image made of him which is a...

    Daniel`s 70 Weeks.

    That's not what Jesus said. Mt 24:15 "Therefore when you see the abomination of desolation which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place..." ( let the reader understand), Jesus said the abomination would stand in the Holy Place: that is defined in the Bible...

    Who Is "the Restrainer" In 2 Thess. 2:6-7

    Verse 23 sets forth a proposition not that they go through all the cities, but that they will not have had to escape all the cities before He returns. In the sense of verse 22, each person must continue in the faith to the end, whether they make it to "the end" or just the end of their life...

    Who Is "the Restrainer" In 2 Thess. 2:6-7

    I see you provide no Scriptural support for your false idea rabbi keras. My problem with your false teaching is that it is false. You teach falsely that Isaiah 30:26 happens on the Day of the Lord. You teach falsely that Isaiah 30:26 means the sun explodes and burns the earth. You also teach...

    Who Is "the Restrainer" In 2 Thess. 2:6-7

    The woman of Rev 12 is Israel: natural borne of the12 tribes. Genesis 37:9-11.

    Who Is "the Restrainer" In 2 Thess. 2:6-7

    Again sez you, who also sez the sun explodes and kills people on a day God says He will heal whom He has bruised. That ain't us rabbi keras; we are not included in God's Wrath. Paul said that.

    Who Is "the Restrainer" In 2 Thess. 2:6-7

    Dear rabbi keras, O mighty writer of Bible study guides: Woe be unto them who let the blind lead the blind, because both fall into the pit of egregious exegesis. As long as you blindly misappropriate every Old Testament verse for Israel to be for the Church, As long as you blindly misinterpret...

    Who Is "the Restrainer" In 2 Thess. 2:6-7

    Taken one way, we are the "true Israel" which God desires: those with a heart towards Him. This does not mean we are Israelites; that is a mistake rabbi keras makes as well. Such thinking leads to Replacement Theory and has God abandoning the Jews. From the Expositor's Bible Commentary notes...

    Who Is "the Restrainer" In 2 Thess. 2:6-7

    This is crazy talk... Obviously from your specious charge you don't know about the RCC's doctrine of transubstantiation in which while the bread and wine don't change, they do become the (spiritual) body and blood of Christ. If you eat human flesh and drink human blood, you're not a...

    Who Is "the Restrainer" In 2 Thess. 2:6-7

    You believe you know what they mean. You believe what you think is true. I don't accept your opinion, and I am not eating the flesh of Jesus when I eat the Bread of Salvation. It's bread; not human flesh. The Passover Meal is usually eaten on a Friday Evening. In the first century, out of...

    Who Is "the Restrainer" In 2 Thess. 2:6-7

    You believe that eating the body of Christ is what they meant? - Don't believe everything you think. What bread is to the body; Jesus is to the soul. One of the many "I am" statements of Jesus which is true figuratively but not literally. Jesus is drawing an analogy from the Wilderness trek of...

    Well... we can go back to the 17th of February (page 2) where blessedhope was going on about the rapture and you chimed in about dispensationalism and made claims of falsehood and danger about issues that blessedhope never raised... or we can let it go altogether. I'm well able to let you have...

    You were the one who tried to establish that Amillennialism was the original eschatology of the Church. I then said: And you said: And I said again: And you gave your simple word definitions of create and origin and equivocated in defense saying they were one and the same, and dismissively...

    Now I find it funny that you want to redefine Historical Pre-Millennialism into an argument that Augustine just "popularized" a view that was prevalent - as is if this adds weight for the authority you seek for your eschatology. That is a fallacy in argument. But as to the basic fact that...

    Imminent.

    No, and don't put words into my mouth. I agreed with the author that Historic Pre-Millennialism saw the return of Christ and the Rapture as one and the same event. Now I use "event" to differentiate action, but as I see in Scripture, that Jesus returns on the Day of the Lord, and on that same...
